<p>&nbsp;</p><p>One thing I have learned in my several weeks here at MOPA is that the photographic arts can be challenging.&nbsp; I think of photography in a classic camera-film-picture sort of way.&nbsp; But that is a rather limited view.&nbsp; First off, the term photographic arts includes more than just pictures or still images.&nbsp; Video and film are very much a part of this category.&nbsp; After all, a film or video is merely a sequence of images strung together in a rapid fashion.&nbsp; But this was not the challenging part.</p><p><a href="http://mopa.org/blog/01-04-13/visually-challenged%E2%80%A6" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://mopa.org/blog/01-04-13/visually-challenged%E2%80%A6#commentsexhibitionsjessica langeruud van empelMon, 01 Apr 2013 18:22:43 +0000dcappiello3740 at http://mopa.orgFollowing the Riverhttp://mopa.org/blog/09-07-12/following-river

I saw a lot of terrific art, including the Cindy Sherman show at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Biennial, and the Francesca Woodman exhibition at the Guggenheim.</p><p><a href="http://mopa.org/blog/09-06-12/my-recent-visit-821-sixth-avenue-nyc" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://mopa.org/blog/09-06-12/my-recent-visit-821-sixth-avenue-nyc#commentsexhibitionsJazz Loft ProjectMOPANew York CitySun, 10 Jun 2012 03:29:17 +0000callas3003 at http://mopa.orgSeeing the Sound through Roy DeCaravahttp://mopa.org/blog/23-02-12/seeing-sound-through-roy-decarava
<p>To me, one of the most incredible qualities of photography is its ability to show you how something sounded or felt through a silent image.

<p>MOPA has always been an institution that showcases photographers who push the limits of the art form. Whether it's through the subjects they photograph, the message of their images, or their treatment of the medium, we look to inspire our visitors by showing them something unexpected and meaningful. This Februray, we will be opening <a href="http://www.mopa.org/node/970"><em>Unusual Suspects: Paintings and Photographs by Holly Roberts </em></a>, an exhibition that will expose our audience to a different take on photography.</p><p><a href="http://mopa.org/blog/19-12-11/mixing-mediums-collage-painting-and-photography-holly-roberts" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://mopa.org/blog/19-12-11/mixing-mediums-collage-painting-and-photography-holly-roberts#commentscollageexhibitionsHolly Robertsunusual suspectsMon, 19 Dec 2011 20:23:44 +0000paul1723 at http://mopa.org
